does this label printer work on computer with Windows 8.1?

I have not been able to use the Lite editor after installing 8.1. The regular print driver still works though

The installation on my windows 8.1 update machine was not smooth at all. The computer recognized the printer as a USB device but would not communicate with it. After 2 calls to tech support, the problem was escalated to their second tier support desk. The tech there was excellent and spent 1/2 hour working on my computer using remote access. The problem was printer drivers not loading and the cause was the 8.1 update load. After finally getting the computer to recognize the QL700, he had to do a firmware update on the QL700 as there is a known problem using it on windows 8.1. He also had to do a sneaky install of the QL700 driver as if it was a LPT1 connected device and then disable it so that the USB configuration would be recognized. A convoluted process that the average user would never figure out without help ! I can't tell if the cause is a shortcoming in the QL700 or just another Windows related problem. I suspect it's both.

Hey mate, it does work with windows 7 I tried it myself not too bad. But printing on the label is not 100% accurate you might miss some bits on the edges but I believe that it depends on the printer brand and model as well. Cheers

Hello, this I don't know. I know it works fine with windows 8, with 8.1 I can't answer. I don't have the 8.1. I'm sorry I can't be more help. Have a blessed day! Deborah

Hi! It has worked perfectly to me so far.. I had never used it to print labels.

The only one that I can claim 100% compatibility with is Windows 7. We have yet to migrate our 6 locations over to Windows 8, so I can't answer whether it's compatible with that OS or not. I believe in the next quarter we will be moving everyone over to Windows 8. I can give an update at that point in time. Overall, the printer is a good workhorse and we've had no issues with it. Hope that helps. Dave

It is. We have a Windows 7 pc Windows 8.1 and a Mac and they all use it as a network printer and the software is on all three

Yes....windows 8 drivers must be downloaded from http:solutions.brother.com as it is not on the install disc that ships with the printer

I suppose so. I have Windows 8 and it works with that program. I'm really disappointed with this printer, though. I think you could do better.

Yes, it works on Windows 8.1. That is the Operating System I used to set it up.

I have MacBook Air with both osx and win 8.1 setup on same machine. Scanning and printing works just fine on both operating systems.

The packaging and software states that it is Windows 8 compatible; I saw no difference in connecting the printer to my Win 8 desktop. I made installs on Win7 & and Win XP computers also. The installation software will advise you whether or not updates and new firmware are available. It was a seamless process for me.

Yes, this printer is compatible with Windows 8. If the software CD cannot install the printer, I recommend going to HP support website to download the latest software. The link is this: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Deskjet-1050-All-in-One-Printer-series---J4/4027462/model/4027464#Z7_3054ICK0KGTE30AQO5O3KA30R1

Yes, this will work with Windows 8.1. It was designed for Windows OS 7 or later.

No, this is a program for Apple's (Mac) - they do make a print shop 1 & 2 for any Microsoft run computer - Windows 8 would be fine with Print Shop either 1 or 2 for MICROSOFT

it is compatible with Windows 8.1 as it is a standard wireless device. What must be ensured is that it is compatible with the printer that you are using it with. Some printers have little or no processing power on board and the wireless device must be able to connect to the print processor.
